*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

Just called them myself as I cancelled the MSI 3080 on Friday. I received an email offering free delivery on my next order so I called them about the PNY cards. They have confirmed they are NOT taking any order for any cards until all back orders are completed, regardless of the level of back orders on a particular brand. I was told "you'll just have to wait".
Well that's not what I have been told:

(11:29:15) Andy: I have noticed on your website that you have no outstanding ordered for rtx 3080 from pny and palit but you still expect some more to come. Does that mean they are going to be available for sale?
(11:30:19) Luke: we are going to make them available for order again soon but we are unsure of when this will be

(That was yesterday)
 
Unfortunately I don't think there's anything Board Partners, Distributors or Retailers can do to fix this. It's ultimately up to consumers to reject this behavior, vote with their wallets and hope things change for the better in the future.
Exactly, it gets so hostile in this forum and just stresses more people out. It's obvious OC and others are in the same boat as us.
Moaning at OCUK doesn't solve anything. Nvidia are to blame and that's who we should be focusing our opinions on. Nvidia just sit in the background making huge profits, while the retailers have to pick up the pieces.
If you want to complain, aim it at the source of the problem.
 
Seems people twist my words Asus are producing all cards but in the update they gave me yesterday is most the GPUs they are receiving from NVIDIA are binning well and as such more OC cards are being produced since launch and at the moment and I said things can change they could next month get a batch of GPU which don’t hit OC levels and this production of none OC would then ramp up but simple fact is no one knows the future.

Asus send us setups and request we put online and so we do and until yesterday no one from Asus had communicated anything I JD to ask them and finally got the answer that at the moment most of the GPUs they get go to OC models due to better than expected binning and as such OC models are shipping in greater numbers and in fairness OC models have sold in greater numbers too but at same time small amounts of none OC are shipping.

That is far different than saying not producing at all!
Thanks for the clarification, sorry if I misinterpreted your previous post.
 
Anyone know what happened to the Large Inno3D shipment that was due ???

I got my Inno3D Twin X2 (I was 17 in the queue); however, I've now returned this card because I was concerned about an increasingly strong odour of electric burn (it was hitting 83C at peak for context).

OC was pretty helpful over the phone though and they've already picked the card up.

I believe you as your info ties in with the update yesterday on the website, however that is what I was told 10 mins ago. He could be wrong, he could be right. Sounds like they don't even know!

That is far different than saying not producing at all! I said prioritising! Not stopping!

I understood your message the first time. It still clashes with the fact that Asus official statement on Twitter is that the OC and non-OC cards are being produced and shipped equally. Meaning that according to Asus, they are not prioritizing a version over another, but according to you they are prioritizing the OC version over the non-OC.

When your statements and Asus's statements don't even match, you can't act like people have no right to be ****** at your words, @Gibbo . If you want to act all ******, go talk to the Asus representatives and ask why they don't keep their own story straight between what they tell you and what they tell the end users.
 
We do get those updates. If your card has a shipment, you get a queue update email, I had one the other week
As well as the update email every Friday

Ahh that explains to me that all the positions I have moved are due to cancelled cards not cards being shipped. This makes me a sad panda. But thank you for the information.

so.. does anyone know when the large order came in ?
 
Looks like the 3080 might struggle with 60 fps 4k watchdogs with rtx and dlss

Th 3090 manages it barley. Dame the fps with native 4k with rtx on is scary low

Ubisoft games always run like crap, I don't know why Nvidia would choose one to show off their new GPU. Almost as bad as the time they gave away Arkham Knight with the 980ti!
 
I do wonder why anybody knowing what they know now would wait in a queue for a non OC Asus Tuf or Strix. It's clear that the vast majority of Ampere chips are overclocking nicely and it's only the poor second rate silicon going into these expensive cards, you are effectively being given the bottom 5 or 10% of the intake which the manufacturers have found won't over clock, for the sake of around £20 for the models which do.

Not only that, but they are going to keep you waiting in an interminably long queue whilst they service the customers buying the first class product who they clearly value much more.

I just can't understand why anyone would put up with that and wait.

To be fair, all AIB's have been blaming Nvidia for the lack of chips so it adds up.
